Recommended Toe-Up Sock Patterns

[evilawyer]

I've decided to give toe-up socks a try for a change, but I can't find any patterns that I've been able to execute without big holes all along the turn of the heel. This might be okay if I was going for a fishnet effect, but I'm not. Does anyone have a pattern they'd recommend that has stitches to avoid this problem?

Thanks.

The hardest part is making sure I ALWAYS pick up each wrap/both wraps on the second half. Miss a wrap and I get a hole, sure as eggs is eggs.

Huh. That is not true for me. Knitting is so freaking wild sometimes. I can just hear Taggert (from Eureka) stage-whispering to yarn shop employees, "It's a jungle out there." Then he'd probably pull his night-vision goggles down and try to hide behind a potted plant.
